| 0:17.5 | Having a pretty darn good Monday here. |
| 0:19.4 | Oh, excuse me. |
| 0:20.0 | Excuse my language. |
| 0:21.3 | That's a pretty darn good Monday. And it always makes me happy when William Albrecht is here. William is here. |
| 0:28.1 | He's a patristic pillar himself, and you can find him at patristicpillars.com. And we're going to do, |
| 0:34.1 | why aren't you Catholic? And as I've said, it's funny, our guests the pointed to something that we've, I think, we've become increasingly aware of, and I feel like the world is suddenly becoming aware of, which is there is an interesting moment of openness to the Catholic Church, that there seem to be hearts and minds that are like, well, make the case. If you can make the case, then I'll accept it. It's not a, it's not combative. It's interested. It's interested in what the Catholic Church has to offer. And that's why we've been doing a lot more of these, why aren't you Catholic? And we're very, very happy to do them. And a great guy to do that with is a great guy to do anything with on the Catholic faith as William Albrecht. William, |
| 1:14.5 | thanks for being. happy to do them. And a great guy to do that with is a great guy to do anything with on the Catholic |
| 1:12.8 | faith as William Albrecht. William, thanks for being here. Brother, great to be back with you, |
| 1:17.6 | thrilled every time that I am on with you guys. And very, very happy to be able to talk with people |
| 1:22.3 | because as you know very well, brother, a lot of people are hungry for the Catholic faith. |
| 1:26.3 | And hopefully, hopefully we can help |
| 1:28.1 | them. And let me tell you one thing. Before we even dive in, I had a few people reach out to me |
| 1:32.8 | and tell me they were incredibly edified by our dialogue here in Catholic Answers and by the |
| 1:39.2 | books that were sent out to them. They were really, really moved by them. Oh, I'm so happy to hear that. That makes me feel very happy. And I have to say, I like to say it, I don't have to say it, but there is, we had a donor who said, I'll give you the money to send books to people, and we're very grateful to that donor. Because I don't know if we've ever told you this, William, but we're not rolling in cash here. We don't have piles of cash somewhere. So if somebody says I will pay to send books to people, that means a lot to us. All right, the numbers 8.387-884. Our guest is, did I say Michael? I'd miss say William Albrecht. Did I say? No, you said William. Did I? All right. I'm all confused now. Oh, I'm having a moment. I'm having a Monday moment. All right, I'm okay. I'm going to move on now. Oh, that's why I got confused, because the next caller is Michael, and I'm looking at the name, Michael, and I crossed myself up. I guess I better go to Michael, now that I've said his name, he's right here in the great state of California. |
| 2:37.2 | Michael, thank you for your call. |
| 2:39.0 | Go ahead with your question for William. |
| 2:42.4 | Hi. |
